Global Commitment to Company Culture Lands NetApp at #3 on the Best Workplaces in Canada List

Annual Canada List by Great Place to Work Institute Names NetApp as a Best Workplace with High Achievement in the Fairness Category

SUNNYVALE, Calif.-May 16,
2012- NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced that it ranked #3 on
the
2012 "Best Workplaces in Canada" list by the Great Place to
Work® Institute Canada. This marks the third consecutive year
that NetApp Canada has ranked in the top 3, after earning the #2
spot in 2011. NetApp is honored to be named a leading employer in
Canada and to have earned special recognition in the trust index
for Fairness. This further validates the company's belief that a
strong culture drives inspired employees to innovate to deliver
customer and partner success globally.

The "Best Workplaces in Canada" list is built
on five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work:
credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie. NetApp's
commitment to the same values around the world unite the company as
one, and by nurturing an environment in which innovation thrives,
NetApp employees are able to deliver success in the marketplace
with integrity and honor.

NetApp Culture Is the Foundation for
Success

The "Best Workplaces in Canada" list is compiled by the Great
Place to Work Institute Canada. The competitive ranking process is
based on two criteria: a 58-statement survey completed by a random
selection of employees, along with their open-ended comments about
their organization; and an in-depth review of the organization's
culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and
procedures.

This year's 2012 list received over 230 nominations and over
49,000 employees participated in the "Best Workplaces in Canada"
survey.

This ranking in Canada follows NetApp's #3 ranking on the
inaugural "World's Best Multinational Workplace" list in 2011.

Global recognition as a great place to work positions NetApp as
a desirable employer around the world, which attracts and retains
the best people in the industry. With NetApp Canada's #3 ranking,
NetApp now ranks among the top 10 best places to work in 17
different regions around the globe, including:

Austria: #1

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina: #1

Japan: #2

France: #2

Germany: #2

United Kingdom: #2

Switzerland: #2

Australia: #3

Minnesota: #4

Chicago: #4

Washington, D.C.: #5

Pennsylvania: #5

New York: #6

Europe: #6

Netherlands: #8

India: #10

NetApp believes that inspired employees do the extraordinary
and, as further validation, NetApp Toronto was a host site for one
of the St. Baldrick's Foundation's annual fundraising event.
Through the strong relationships that NetApp employees in Canada
have built, NetApp's channel partners in the region joined in the
NetApp event to help raise money and awareness for the
foundation.

The full list of top places to work in Canada was published
April 19 in the Globe and Mail.
